GFF Shareholder Yields
Earnings, FCF, buyback, and dividend yields — total returns to shareholders
Griffon Corporation returns 5.3% to shareholders annually — split between a 0.9% dividend yield and 4.3% buyback yield. The payout ratio of 77.7% is elevated — while still covered by earnings, there is limited headroom for dividend increases.
